A distant view of Drangarnir, one of the most interesting natural landmarks in the Faroe Islands! Drangarnir is the sea stacks in the middle. I took this photo in/near the village of Bøur. Shortly after I visited another iconic landmark: Múlafossur Waterfall! I wish I had time to get a close-up view of Drangarnir, though. It is truly otherworldly! I took this photo on August 29th.
An idyllic, misty view of Sandavágur! I was on my way to the otherworldly Trøllkonufingur! Trøllkonufingur was one of the best sights on Vágar Island and one of the highlights of my trip. But, I also enjoyed the walk to and from there! I hiked about 12 KM that entire day and it was well worth it. Sandavágur has been voted the most well-kept village in the Faroes twice. And it's the most famous "city" in the country, and best voted traveling experience. Although, not an actual city at all - the population is only around 861! The name Sandavágur means sandy bay and refers to the sandy beach which used to be much larger than present. From one point in Sandavágur you can get a view of all the southern islands in the Faroes. And the red-roofed church seen in this photo is one of the best in the Faroe Islands! In fact, members of the Danish Royal Family were there 1 day after I was! I even saw their motorcade as they were continuing on their journey. A pretty cool experience, too ;). I took this photo on August 25th.
One of the most surreal places I've visited - Sørvágsvatn in the Faroe Islands! Had a great time there on August 26th. The more iconic view of this lake actually is much more panoramic, showing views further to the left. But I was so in awe of what I witnessed that I simply forgot to take a panoramic photo of that! Oh well, as the saying goes: there is always next time, right? :) I still did manage to get some cool shots and am glad for that. Especially since the wind could be a little strong at times! Especially near this viewpoint here. I was perilously close to that edge. And anyway, this is a must-visit for anyone going to the Faroes! It's a few KM hike but so well worth it. And the visible trail makes it quite easy to get there. Plus, you are likely to walk with other tourists anyway ;).
